Owen Garriott has asked that autograph requests no longer be sent through the mail to any addresses that may be known by collectors.

He has requested I remove his address from this site (which has been done) and that those of you who do maintain lists, to please do the same.

Just like to say that if Mr. Garriott reads this site, thanks for all the times you have accommodated our autograph requests. It is much appreciated.

I know Dr. Garriott is listed as "no longer accepting" autograph requests on the address resource here in cS, but does he ever make exceptions or make signing appearances?

I have a Skylab litho signed by all Skylab astronauts except for him and Pete Conrad (now deceased). Is there hope I could still get it signed or is my litho as close to 100% as it's ever going to get?

When Owen appeared with his son Richard at the Explorers Club in September 2013, he was kind enough to do autographs when asked - although he limited it to two items. Just have to be patient, I guess.

I purchased the Skylab signed print from ASF and had the idea of writing to ask if he would be so kind to sign it – even said I would donate or pay him via check.

After a year still no response... that being said it never hurts to try! Hope this helped!

Owen has specifically asked not to receive autograph requests through the mail. Please respect his wishes.

I apologize, I did not read the above posting before replying — if I would have known that I would not have written.

Astronaut Owen Garriott died on April 15 2019. I sended a few items to have them signed in 2013 (!) to him.
Did not know about the post of 2002.
Today (23 April 2019!) I received two signed photos.

Could it be he has been cleaning his desk before he died? Did any one also had this late reply?

I asked Richard Garriott (son of Owen) about this and he answered:
Yes, I found the pile of unsent photos. Some were signed but never sent, others were unsigned.
I mailed them all out.

If he had not signed them, I added a letter and a card he and I had made together.

Then I am also the lucky recipient of signed, but not sent items. Owen Garriott signed two photos and one cover for me. Lucky he sent them now - in three months time, my own address would have changed.
